TOYOTA MAKES A GREAT VEHICLE AS LONG AS YOU DON'T WANNA HAUL ANYTHING.
  IF YOU WANT A WEEKEND OFFROAD WARRIOR THEN YOU BUY A TOYOTA.
 IF YOU WANT A GOOD ALL ROUND TRUCK FOR WORK AND PLAY THEN YOU BUY AN AMERICAN TRUCK.
  YES I KNOW TOYOTA HAS THE TUNDRA NOW BUT IT HASN'T BEEN PROVEN YET AND WE ALL KNOW HOW BIG OF A HUNK OF CRAP THE T 100 WAS !! LONG STORY SHORT IF YOU WANT A GOOD TRUCK THAT WILL LAST AND NOT BREAK THE BANK,  BUY A FORD OR CHEVY :)

GOOD TO SEE THIS THREAD TURNING INTO A CAPS LOCK SHOW!!!!!  I HAVE FISHED A LUNA TD-L300 FOR MORE THAN A YEAR NOW AND HAVE HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE ALL METAL LINE GUIDE IS A GREAT ITEM. NO CERAMIC/PLASTIC INSERT OT BREAK IN COLD WEATHER AND SO FAR HAS HELD UP WELL USING BRAIDED LINES. NEW FOR 2007 IS LEFT HAND WIND IN ALL SIZES.
HAVE A GOOD DAY NOW.

Some people might not have the money to buy different reel for different type of fishing. 

I tasted the squamish river water by accident and it has some salt.  The fraiser in Richmond has salt.  It is just a concern.

The other thing about the metal line guide...  Thanks for clear that up for me.  I know the daiwa site said it is line proof, but a real world test is always better :)

Suppose to be a nice discussion, why all caps?

Ceramic/Pastic insert - I have never had any problem of them breaking in the cold weather at all...  Anyone has that problem?  And actual picture will be nice to see which part will break and crack as well...  It is all good to know.

THE CAPS ARE A RESULT OF A VERY SUCCESSFUL CHARACTER BRAND THAT ORIGINATES FROM 'CAPTAIN BONK'.

In fact, everytime I see discussion in CAPS, I think of CAPTAIN BONK, even on other forums.

I think it is hilarious, and every cartoonist/branding professional should be looking closely at the CAPTAIN BONK potential here. Think of T-SHIRTS with a "DONT SHOUT" emblem with the CAPTAIN BONK label. Bright red, green colours come to mind. Should be a sellout.

Sorry.... nothing to do with fishing......

Luna line guide is actually stainless steel.  It's not suppose to rust. I've used Luna 300 fishing the Howe Sound and IA for a good 50+ days. Jigging, trolling, never had any problem.  Line guide is still looking like new, no scratches.  Drag system works smoothly.  No complain.

do you notice any or at all build up with the press in magnetic adjustment plate?

Eventhough you don't dip your reel in water, I notice with the experience of salt water fishing that I have done, you will have some build up on your hand and it might get in there... especially using live bait...  Any opinion on that? 

And I guess I am not the only one that use setup both for salt and fresh...

So far there hasn't been any build up.
